Abstract
A novel cross-phase-modulation-based scheme to perform optical time-divisio
n demultiplexing using a delayed interferometer is put forward and its oper
ational principles analysed. Simulations of 40:10 Gb/s demultiplexing show
that, through operational parameter optimisation, suppression of the undesi
red channels can effectively be achieved. The simplicity and compactness of
the device makes it suitable for practical applications. (C) 2001 Publishe
